OCEAN TOWNSHIP – Two woman were arrested Saturday after police found drugs, a knife and brass knuckles during a traffic stop on Route 18, authorities said.

Natacha Perez, 24, of Tinton Falls, and Ronda Feacher, 37, of Red Bank, were pulled over on Route 18 near West Park Avenue at around 4 a.m. for a traffic violation, police said. An investigation determined both women had heroin, crack cocaine, drug paraphernalia, a knife and brass knuckles with them, police said.

While police were questioning Feacher, she gave them a false name and tried to get rid of evidence by swallowing drugs, police said, adding that the type of drug was not known.

Feacher was taken to a local hospital as a precautionary measure and later taken to police headquarters for processing, police said.

Feacher was charged with possession of crack cocaine, possession of heroin, tampering with evidence, possession of drug paraphernalia, hindering her own apprehension and contempt of court. He bail was set at $2,500 with no 10 percent option and was taken to Monmouth County Correctional Institution in lieu of bail, police said.

Perez was charged with possession of crack cocaine, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, possession of drug paraphernalia and several motor vehicle offenses, including possession of a controlled dangerous substance in a motor vehicle, police said. She was released on a summons pending a future court date.
